can anyone tell me how to translate this into latin.....?

Question

the merchant, whom aurelia sees in that shop, will sell the best pig.

i don't understand what form of qui, quae, quod i should be using/why.... could someone translate and explain!!!

Answer 1

Mercator, quem Aurelia in illa taberna videt, porcum optimum vendet.

Qui is in the accusative because it is modifying the object of videt (Aurelia sees the merchant in that shop). The clause is independent from the rest of the sentence, so Aurelia is not an indirect object. It is the subject of the clause.

{illa has an -a ending here in the ablative case, and the future tense of vendo vendere (3) is vendet.}

Answer 2

MERCATOR QUEM AURELIA IN ILLE TABERNA VIDET PORCELLUM OPTIMUM VENDEBAT.

I think!!!! I am SO rusty in my Latin it's pathetic!

The Merchant is the subject, but I'm not sure if the Whom, or "QUEM," should be QUEM (accusative case) or "QUI" (Nominative case). Aurelia is the indirect object, the pig is the direct object. ILLE TABERNA is in the Ablative case, "case where."

Bona Fortuna; I did my best in the two minutes I had!
